94 MB standalone in Max 6.x?

I made a simple patcher, saved it as a standalone, and was surprised it was 94 MB.

I took a quick look under package contents, did some trial and error stripping out of frameworks, etc. put in a standalone object, but it’s still hard to get a standalone under 40 MB. That’s roughly double what is was under Max 5.

Most of that difference is probably down to the relative sizes of the Max 5 vs 6 runtimes. With that in mind, I’m guessing getting a much smaller standalone size than waht you have with MAx 6 is going to be difficult (at best).
